Features:
- reads /usr/loca/bin/default*** files for the chosen apps at startup (thanks to Iguleder)
- checks through an array of programs and and builds a custom list of only the programs that are installed
- automatically add current defaults to top of the dropdown lists of programs
- changes the default*** files using a custom "defaults-changer" CLI tool from Puppy Arcade 8
- now supports parameters and CLI commands - just type the custom command in the desired field

0.7
- many more apps now supported
- added 'text editor' and 'text viewer' to GUI (whoops!)
- better checking for installed apps
- small fixes here and there for some existing entries
- can load through terminal with given path for chroot (for woofy)

0.5
- many apps added in all categories
- better searching and listing of installed apps in the GUI

0.2
- added support for parameters in the command
- replaced the get_program command, so all parameters and options are found, too
- added many more supported apps to the defaults lists
- fixed openoffice and seamonkey commands in the app arrays
- now uses gtk stock icons (thanks vovchik)

To Do:
- get a full list of the commands that I can include in each list (help me!)
- Please suggest apps that you would like included in the list of apps to search

NOTE: You may prefer this lovely default changer, from Iguleder.
Iguleders app will automatically search the .desktop files, in order to find which apps you have installed

NOTE: I'm very sorry if anyone feels I have stepped on their toes here!!!

hehe

I like your wizard, but I truly think it has too many items. I don't believe people would like to choose so many things, that's both confusing and useless. Also, the script is longer and therefore slower, it's Bash after all.

By the way, you can take my functions from my wizard and put them in yours, should solve the parameters issue. _________________My homepageMy GitHub profile

I took the liberty of changing the button icons in defaults-chooser (l. 472) since (a) my old Puppy 3.01 did not have the pixmaps in question and (b) the gtk stock icons are present on all systems with GTK. I will now have a look at Iguleder's code. Perhaps there are further optimizations that can be made. In any case, a nice program. I don't think there are too many options, and I usually end up adjusting all the defaults by hand. I may add a few more options to my own pulldown lists, since I also have KDE and QT3/4 installed, so Kolourpaint, Konqueror might just as well be there.

About being "confusing and useless" - I think only the "Bare HTML Viewer" is excessive...
And possibly "Search", as most people don't have a "defaultsearch " file (But I like to make one for my installs)

Also, I forgot I was using GrumpyWolfes ControlPanel icons in this script!! I will change that..

And vovchick, I'd be very happy if you could give me a list of the apps you'd like included in the app arrays..

I would like to include all the popular apps, even those not found in Puppy by default.
However, I don't use Puppy 5, KDE, Gnome, etc, etc, so I cannot know all the apps to add by myself!!_________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search
